THIS IS COPIED STRAIGHT FROM MY NEWS SUBMISSION:
A few weeks ago I did a show... and gave something away. I said to everyone listening, "This is pathetic. There is 6 people listening to my show. GET ME LISTENERS!"
10 minutes go by and I still have 6 people. I proceeded to mock those 6... and I dropped to 4. So I took matters into my own hands. I went through my list of FFR Buddies and my list of Recent Buddies (60+ FFR Members who have contacted me over the past month or so) and messaged every single one with the link to the radio. Of course, the expected happened. I shot to 20 listeners. But I said to myself again, "Tass... you deserve more people to listen to your show! 20 is still pathetic!"
So I went one step further. I used bribery. I told those 20 loyal people (er, 4 loyal + 16 who I nagged) that I would send $10 US Cash money to 1 lucky listener if we hit 40 listeners before my show ended.
I honestly didn't expect my greedy fan base to double my listener count, but after about 20 minutes of jumping between 25-35 listeners, we peaked at FORTY FIVE. I did a random drawing of those listening and sent a shiny piece of paper with Alexander Hamilton's face on it to a lucky guy from Maine by the name of Jim.
Now, with that lovely piece of nostalgic history behind us, let me move to the future. I want to get 100 listeners to my show on Thursday, August 11th starting at 8pm EDT.
Now, to motivate you money grubbing devils, not only will I be playing AMAZING music all night long, I will be giving away money and CDs. My show will be entirely full length albums. And not just any albums... my favorite albums of all time. Albums that are so good I have listened to each one at least 50 times. So with that in mind, this is what you can win from me by listening to my show:
50 Listeners: $5 + 1 CD of your choice from what I play to 1 person
75 Listeners: $10 + 1 CD of your choice to 1 person AND 1 CD to a 2nd person
100+ Listeners: $25 + 2 CDs of your choice to 1 person AND 1 CD to 2 other people.
Basically, you'll want to listen... because I'm giving away free stuff. GOOD free stuff... and playing amazing music to boot.
Also, in case you are wondering how I'll know you are listening... I'll do what I did last time... say something over the air like "IM me and tell me 'LD is hot enough to steal my girlfriend'" . I'll take everyone who IMs me, write their name down, and use random.org to get a winner(s).
If anyone has any questions about this.... well, you shouldn't. And I'll be at work all day, so I won't be able to answer them anyway.
